Ford said, “I’m very happy to welcome Jennifer to the team at this exciting stage of growth for Kew Media. With her extensive experience and contacts as well as her drive and passion for first class entertainment, she is a fantastic addition to our busy sales team. I would also like to thank Diana Zakis for her dedication to the role and her continued commitment to driving our distribution business forward. We wish her all the best for the future.”

Askin added, “This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a first-class distribution team in delivering top-quality content to broadcasters and platforms throughout the U.S. and Latin America, and I’m thrilled to be joining Kew. Kew has a great reputation on the global stage, driven by their ongoing collaborations with some of the world’s most renowned producers, and I’m looking forward to building further on the success of its diverse catalog of multi-genre programming in the region.”
